we also heard from senator bob menendez of new jersey and the governor of new jersey as well and so weverything, this is all about his experience as the mayor of newark. mayor for 7 years and leaning heavily on his experience as the mayor of newark, new jersey, he had an apartment, has an apartment here in the middle of inner city, the pitch is who better to help minority communities and those of low-income communities than booker himself who has made a career here in newark and lived among the people, so we expect him to speak a lot about that. his campaign kicking off 2 weeks long, nationwide, expect him to talk about reforming the criminal justice system, minimum wage, increasing that the wealth gap and decreasing that as well and also really about medicare for all. but when you look at the poll numbers and really when you look at them out of iowa right now, he's not really gains as much track than some people have thought. you look at it, the poll number, he has about 7% in iowa, biden himself has 26%, you have sanders who is up there too with 21% and even pete buttigeit was up. he
